Synopsis:

A journey deep into southern Galicia, one of Europe’s most vulnerable wildfire zones, during the hottest summer ever measured.

Wild horses have roamed the Galician mountains for centuries and are indispensable when it comes to fire prevention by grazing but they are vanishing in today’s clash between human progress and nature.
